In the summer season, when there are especially a lot of zucchini and zucchini, original and easy-to-prepare recipes will become more relevant to any table than ever.
Zucchini accordion with aromatic cheese
Cut the zucchini unpeeled into an accordion. At the same time, the cuts themselves should not go right through so that the zucchini does not break up into separate slices. Spread the whole zucchini well with a mixture of melted butter, spices and herbs. The easiest way to do this is with a culinary brush. Put the fragrant side dish on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil and place in the oven (220 degrees) for 20-35 minutes. Before full readiness, sprinkle the zucchini with grated cheese and put in the oven for another 5 minutes, so that the cheese melts, but does not burn.
Simple zucchini pancakes
Peel the zucchini and grate on a coarse grater. Put the resulting minced vegetable into a colander and sprinkle with plenty of salt. The zucchini will release moisture, after which it must be squeezed out, allowing the water to drain. For the test, you need to shake the egg as for an omelet and add zucchini to the already grated pulp. Then add flour, spices to taste and mix thoroughly. The dough should be thick enough. Heat a frying pan and fry the pancakes in vegetable oil until golden brown. Serve the finished dish with sour cream.
Stuffed zucchini boats
We make cups from unpeeled zucchini. To do this, cut the zucchini lengthwise into two halves and scrub all the flesh with a spoon. The part must be postponed immediately, as it goes into the filling. Then cut the pepper into cubes, chop the onion and grate the cheese. Put onion in a skillet and fry with minced meat so that no pink meat remains, add vegetables (pepper and zucchini pulp) and spices to taste. Mix the fry with the cheese and fill the prepared courgette cups with it. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees, grease the baking sheet with vegetable oil, put the zucchini and bake for about half an hour.
Breaded baked zucchini sticks
Cut the unpeeled zucchini into elongated slices. If the zucchiki is young, then you can skip the seeds. To prepare the sprinkling, you need to mix bread crumbs, grated cheese, salt and spices in one saucer. In another dish for batter, shake the egg, add black pepper and finely chopped garlic. Put parchment paper on a baking sheet, and heat the oven to 220 degrees. Dip the zucchini sticks alternately in the batter and breading and lay out in a row on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 5 minutes on one side, then turn the sticks over and cook for another 5 minutes. Serve crispy breaded zucchini with sour cream.
Light salad of zucchini and cherry tomatoes
To begin with, you should prepare a sauce that consists of olive oil, honey, lemon juice, chopped garlic, salt and spices to your taste. The salad is based on zucchini cut into small strips. Halves of cherry tomatoes also go here. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and marinate for 10 minutes. After that, the dish is sprinkled with nuts or seeds and decorated with fresh herbs. To make the salad more satisfying, just add pieces of fried chicken or boiled shrimp to the dish.
